The BBC Press Release today announced their Who schedule for Christmas Day, or Cybermans Day, as eyeofhorus are calling it! First of all, is the Christmas special, The Next Doctor:
It's Christmas Eve in 1851 and Cybermen stalk the snow of Victorian London, in this special Christmas edition of Russell T Davies's Bafta Award-winning time-travelling drama. When the Doctor arrives and starts to investigate a spate of mysterious deaths, he's surprised to meet another Doctor, and soon the two must combine forces to defeat the ruthless Miss Hartigan. But are two Doctors enough to stop the rise of the CyberKing?
David Tennant stars as The Doctor, David Morrissey as The Doctor and Dervla Kirwan as Miss Hartigan. This episode also features Velile Tshabalala as Rosita.
Followed by that will be highlights from this year's first ever Doctor Who Prom, including the mini cutaway scene, Music Of The Spheres!

Missing Polo?!
A researcher, Damian Finucane, believes he has found all 7 parts of the first Doctor serial, Marco Polo. He believes they are located in Thailand, and were most likely shipped there when the BBC sold the episodes for transmission in Thailand. A cash reward is being offered to whoever finds the missing episodes. He said...
"We don't mind if you have them on VHS or on film, and we don't care if it has been dubbed into Thai. We just need to find them. Doctor Who has great historical and cultural value - the missing episodes are a lost heritage."
All TV studios in the area have been searched and Finucane has searched the National Film Archive of Thailand, but with no luck.

Torchwood Novels
Here are the synopsises for the 3 new Torchwood novels, released next year!
Into the Silence by Sarah Pinborough
The body in the church hall is very definitely dead. It has been sliced open with surgical precision, its organs exposed, and its vocal cords are gone. It is as if they were never there or they've been dissolved... With the Welsh amateur Operatic Contest getting under way, music is filling the churches and concert halls of Cardiff. The competition has attracted the finest Welsh talent to the city, but it has also drawn something else - there are stories of a metallic creature hiding in the shadows. Torchwood are on its tail, but it's moving too fast for them to track it down. This new threat requires a new tactic - so Ianto Jones is joining a male voice choir...
Bay of the Dead by Mark MorrisWhen the city sleeps, the dead start to walk... Something has sealed off Cardiff, and living corpses are stalking the streets, leaving a trail of half-eaten bodies. Animals are butchered. A young couple in their car never reach home. A stolen tugboat is brought back to shore, carrying only human remains. And a couple of girls heading back from the pub watch the mysterious drivers of a big black SUV take over a crime scene. Torchwood have to deal with the intangible barrier surrounding Cardiff, and some unidentified space debris that seems to be regenerating itself. Plus, of course, the all-night zombie horror show. Not that they really believe in zombies.
The House That Jack Built by Guy Adams
Jackson Leaves - an Edwardian house in Penylen, built 1906, semi-detached, three storeys, spacious, beautifully presented. Left in good condition to Rob and Julia by Rob's late aunt. It's an ordinary sort of a house. Except for the way the rooms don't stay in the same places. And the strange man that turns up in the airing cupboard. And the apparitions. And the temporal surges that attract the attentions of Torchwood. And the fact that the first owner of Jackson Leaves in 1906 was a Captain Jack Harkness...
Sound good, eh?! In other news, three new Doctor Who novels will be also released next year. They will be:
The Taking of Chelsea 426 by David Llewellyn
Autonomy by Daniel Blythe
The Krillitane Storm by Christopher Cooper
Into the Silence by Sarah Pinborough

Goodbye 10?
The Daily Star were yesterday reporting a story about David Tennant. They said the actor would leave the role of the Doctor in the specials next year, presumably in the last. He will be in a big stand-off with The Master (John Simm). The Doctor will lose the fight, leading to his regeneration.
REMEMBER: This is only speculation, it hasn't been confirmed as true.

DigitalSpy!
DigitalSpy have released some statements about Parts 1 and 2 of series 2, episode 1 of the Sarah Jane Adventures, The Last Sontaran. There is one red herring.
NOTE: I have included my thoughts on each statement.
Sarah Jane uses her sonic lipstick on a Sontaran ship. This is likely to be true from what we saw in the trailer.
Clyde and Luke use Mr. Smith for computer games. This is definitley true, with the Radio Times talking about it.
The Rutans pop up during the episode. This isn't likely.
Sarah Jane speaks to old friend Sir Alastair on the phone to find out a vital piece of information. It is unlikely this is true as Sarah and the Brig bump into each other in the finale. It could equally be true, as a sort of lead up to the finale.
A Sontaran is accused of being a fan of the Arnold Schwarzenegger Conan movie franchise. This is possible.
A Predator-style cloaking device is deployed in Goblin's Copse. Again, this is possible.
Maria's dad Alan receives a very important letter. It is very likely this is true, becuase Alan is asked to start a new job, leading to him and Maria leaving the show.
Here are the spoilers for Part 2. Again, there is one red herring.
NOTE: The red herring is the second, as it has been confirmed Alan and Maria leave for a new house. It has also been confirmed that Chrissy will stay in the town, but not appear in the show.
Sarah Jane is shot.
One of Maria's parents doesn't survive the episode.
Luke has a gas problem.
Chrissy meets Mr. Smith.
A Sleeper Agent is on the loose.
Law Three of Sontaran Battle: Always have a Plan B.
A Sontaran's stumpy fingers are used to thwart the alien invader.

Boxset Of A Timelord
Talking To Rani!
Here's an interview SFX had with new SJA star, Anjli Mohindra, who plays Rani Chandra, the new family on Bannerman Road!
On joining the cast:“It’s been really great, because sometimes when you come into a show everyone’s already all tight in a performed group and you feel a bit intimidated but absolutely not at all. I completely feel part of the team, and it’s just fantastic coming into a group of mates that are already formed but welcome other people in as friends.”
On when her character joins the series:
“Fairly near the start, after saying farewell to the third sidekick, I kind of have a bit of a nosey into the lives of the world-saving team and kind of butt my way in!”
On whether she’s seen the series before:
“Well, it is a lot younger than my age range because I’m 18, but I have seen it on TV a few times and got a lot more into it as I found about the auditions. At first I didn’t actually know how popular it was, until you watch a bit more and hear a lot more people talking about it, and you go onto the website and there’s forums and loads of stuff going on around it. But yeah, I thought it was great, because with children's TV it’s normally quite patronising, but not with this at all. There’s no ‘moral of the day’ at the end of every story, it’s just completely the same as Doctor Who, and adults can watch it as well, which I thought was great.”
On whether Rani is similar to Maria:
“The only similarity that she has is that she’s a girl, really, and she lives in the same house, and that’s about as far as it goes. In personality terms I don’t think they’re that similar, apart from they’re both quite strong-willed, but I think there’s a lot less tears from Rani than there were from Maria. I think her relationship with Sarah Jane is a lot different as well. I think with Rani she’s very much an apprentice of Sarah Jane, which is a really nice relationship, I think. But it does take some getting use to because at first you’ll find that Sarah Jane is not really that interested in taking on another child.”
“She’s kind of shadowing Sarah Jane a lot. And you’ll see that if there’s a moment where she doesn’t quite know how to attack a situation, whether to be quiet, whether to be scared, worried, or to be strong, she’ll always watch Sarah Jane. If Sarah Jane goes in being really bolshy, you’ll see a few seconds later she’s up there as well. She’s just really into her fighting - not fighting physically, but fighting mentally! She’s quite strong, really strong-willed. And she’s a girl between two guys at times, which is nice.”
On her favourite story of the season:“I like the ending, because we’ve got a really nice combination of monsters in that one. And it’s not just one monster either – we’ve got two different monsters, who unite and form an evil pair, so that’s a good one!”

Torchwod Talks
Here's the synopsis for the forthcoming BBC Radio 4 Torchwood audio, Lost Souls.
The Torchwood Institute was founded by Queen Victoria in 1879 to protect the British Empire against the threat of alien invasion. By 2008, all that remains of the organisation is a small team based in Cardiff. And now, following the tragic deaths of two of their colleagues, the remaining three - Captain Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones - have to protect the human race against another unknown force from the darkness.
Martha Jones, ex-time traveller and now working as a doctor for a UN task force, has been called to CERN - the world's largest particle physics laboratory in Geneva - where they're about to activate the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
The LHC is a particle accelerator which has been built deep underground in a 27km tunnel under Switzerland and France. Once activated, the collider will fire beams of protons together, re-creating conditions a billionth of a second after the Big Bang -and potentially allowing the human race a greater insight into what the universe is made of.
But so much could go wrong - it could open a gateway to a parallel dimension, or create a black hole - and now voices from the past are calling out to people and scientists have started to disappear...
Where have the missing scientists gone? What is the secret of the glowing man? What is lurking in the underground tunnel? And do the dead ever really stay dead?
The adventures is to be broadcast at 2.15pm on the 10th September, 2008.

April Books
Here's the now companion-less Doctor Who novels for this April.
Here's the synopsises:
Prisoner Of The Daleks by Trevor Baxendale
The Daleks are advancing, their empire constantly expanding in to Earth's space. The Earth forces are resisting the Daleks in every way they can. But the battles rage on across countless solar systems. And now the future of our galaxy hangs in the balance... The Doctor finds himself stranded on board a starship near the frontline with a group of ruthless bounty hunters. Earth Command will pay them for every Dalek they kill, every eye stalk they bring back as proof. With the Doctor's help, the bounty hunters achieve the ultimate prize: a Dalek prisoner - intact, powerless, and ready for interrogation. But where the Daleks are involved, nothing is what it seems, and no one is safe. Before long the tables will be turned, and how will the Doctor survive when he becomes a prisoner of the Daleks?
The Slitheen Excursion by by Simon Guirrier
1500BC - King Actaeus and his subjects live in mortal fear of the awesome gods who have come to visit their kingdom in ancient Greece. Except the Doctor, visiting with university student June, knows they're not gods at all. They're aliens. For the aliens, it's the perfect holiday - they get to tour the sights of a primitive planet and even take part in local customs. Like gladiatorial games, or hunting down and killing humans who won't be missed. With June's enthusiastic help, the Doctor soon meets the travel agents behind this deadly package holiday company - his old enemies the Slitheen. But can he bring the Slitheen excursion to an end without endangering more lives? And how are events in ancient Greece linked to a modern-day alien plot to destroy what's left of the Parthenon?
Judgement Of The Judoon by Colin Brake
Elvis the King Spaceport has grown into the sprawling city-state of New Memphis - an urban jungle, where organized crime is rife. But the launch of the new Terminal 13 hasn't been as smooth as expected. And things are about to get worse... When the Doctor arrives, he finds the whole terminal locked down. The notorious Invisible Assassin is at work again, and the Judoon troopers sent to catch him will stop at nothing to complete their mission. With the assassin loose on the mean streets of New Memphis, the Doctor is forced into a strange alliance. Together with teenage private eye Nikki and a ruthless Judoon Commander, the Doctor soon discovers that things are even more complicated - and dangerous - than he first thought...
Also, here's the 2009 annual.
